In this episode of Sex Love Psychedelics, I dive into the deliciously tangled dance between love, power, money, and self-worth in modern relationships. I’m joined by my dear friend and powerhouse, Michelle Pound — a love, money, and pleasure mentor who helps men find their queens and women rise into the goddesses they were always meant to be.

Together, we explore how cultural conditioning around success and validation shapes the way we love, the hidden ways we outsource our safety to others, and how longing and financial dynamics can quietly erode intimacy. We also dive into the art of reclaiming our emotional power — and why true love begins when we choose ourselves first.

In this episode you’ll hear:

50:43 Choosing Yourself (Even When It’s Hard)

THE SKINNY ON OUR SEXY GUEST

Michelle is a mentor in love, money, and pleasure, guiding men and women who are ready to have it all — deep love, high-level success, and a life that turns them all the way on.Through private mentorship, transformational coaching containers, and immersive in-person experiences, she helps men find their queens and empowers women to rise fully into the goddess they were always meant to be.

As a Shibari artist and curator of sacred, sensual spaces, Michelle creates experiences where the body becomes a temple and every moment is an initiation into deeper power, presence, and pleasure.
